I feel like I also saw this as a custom card, but unsure. Without the front half of expensive execute this card would be good. If Vilespine Slayer saw play and was almost a staple in every Rogue list, you can bet your ass this will be a staple too.

A slightly better Holy Water, but that card was really bad. Not super confident in this card since 4 damage is not likely to kill anything that big on turn 6, but we'll have to see how the meta shakes up.

Oh ho, this makes the other Warlock/Priest cards look so much better. Not only could this act as a nice refill, but it can trigger their abilities for 0 mana. Also insane synergy in self-damage Warlock since it generates 2 mana when comboed with Darkglare. Immediately triggers Diseased Vulture too, the applications of this card are too many for it to not see play in at least a T2 deck.

Hehehehehe, Thief Priest go brrrrrrrr. I'm psyched to see that Priest has some good ways of disrupting opponent's combo, it might be enough to take Control Priest over the top since it could be one of the only control decks to consistently disrupt or destroy enemy combo pieces. What's more is that this could be run in Tempo/Zoo Priest as a way to pseudo-refill your hand and get rid of any clear pieces the opponent might have. Also neat synergy with Envoy of Lazul, but that's neither here nor there.

Nice to see Dragon Priest getting some love, but I don't see this fitting into any decks currently. It might be enough for a Tempo Dragon Priest deck to arise with the support the got in AoO, but I don't expect the deck to make any waves.

Tempo/Zoo Priest looking mighty fine with this card. Frazzled Freshman looks pretty nice with this. Also, obligatory 'Northshire Cleric died for this'.

Could be the medium-sized deck summon that Warrior needs to get its big deck off the ground. Not matter what you get its going to help slow down aggressive decks and make room to continue summoning big things. Also supports Big Paladin, but I don't think that deck has enough of a payoff to warrant running over Big Warrior.

Has applications in control decks by slowing the amount of incoming damage and has applications in tempo or minion-based decks by allowing for value trades. I have high hopes for this card and expect to see it floating around in some lists of both styles of decks.

I could see this being run in Big Paladin as a half-way point. It helps stem some damage from aggro and is well statted for a Lifesteal minion, but its just kind of boring in a set filled with interesting and exciting cards.

Compares pretty well to Rampage since you might be able to get more that 3 health of divine shield in a trade. That said, it anti-synergizes with Risky Skipper and might not see play in damage Warrior for that reason. In Paladin it's a bit harder to get use in general since there are no easy ways of damaging your own minions, but it could find a home in a buff archetype.

Not sure if it sees play in Mage outside of memy casino decks, but Totem Shaman can make excellent use of this card by buffing it to increase the chances that it survives and even duplicating it. Can't wait for the Trolden clip where it casts Totemic Reflection on itself.

It's always weird seeing custom cards being made into real cards, almost surreal even. This card only furthers my fear of Moazki OTk since it can easily resupply your hand for cheap after making her big enough.

The pool for deathrattle cards is large and filled with garbage. The discount is nice and might allow this to see play in a dedicated deathrattle deck, but I don't think it has any application outside of that since there is just too much junk in the deathrattle pool.

Firstly, that art freaks me out. Secondly, it kind of boggles me that this is the only card they released this expansion that synergizes with Professor Slate, and it even has ways to be strong without him. Thirdly, its nice support for Quest Hunter and might see some play, but its application is niche and I am not confident that lists will run it over other swarm-y options.

Card looked good on stream, but that game was absurdly high roll. I think its too slow to be reliably run in any lists, but Big Druid does run out of gas and this could be a decent refill, especially with Guardian Animals.

Hunter has Carrion Studies to make it come out cheaper and the means to abuse the deathrattle while Druid could ramp into it or buff it up with Embiggen or Survival of the Fittest, it will be interesting to see if this can find success in either of those lists.

A really strong card by itself, pushes control Hunter pretty well. Might make it into Highlander, but we'll have to see if updated lists run enough cheap spells to reliably proc this effect. As is though, its got decent stats for the cost and comes with a basically free Deadly Shot. Wish the flavor was better to be something that made more sense for a Spellburst, but I have high hopes for this card.

Has a decent home in deathrattle themed decks and in Quest Hunter, so I suspect this card will see at least some amount of play. Neither of those decks are especially strong right now, so its hard to say whether or not this set gives them enough support to make them strong enough.

Don't feel like there's a ton to say tbh. It's a bit powercrept Alleycat and good in Quest Hunter, but its almost a reprint of Alleycat and only better in some niche scenarios.

Now THAT is some good stats for the cost. Might see play in a deck with Alura, but I don't see this fitting into any existing archetypes.
